Children and Storms

How are your kids when storms hit town? Tonight we had the neatest lightening display, neat that is as long as you are an adult. As for the children, they didn’t find it so neat. In fact one replied, “Oh great, it’s War of the Worlds.” Yes, he was talking about the movie with Tom Cruise. You know the whole lightening scene where it is continuing to strike in one spot over and over? That’s the scene we had it was amazing.

But as with all storms, I have one that gets very scared. The baby, he’s only 2 and the only storms he’s heard are the loud ones that come with the sirens so he doesn’t like them. In fact if he hears thunder he runs or tucks himself under a blanket. He did finally fall asleep but he definitely wasn’t looking out from his covers.
How different do your kids react to storms? Do you have one that likes them and another that doesn’t?
My kids have always been okay with storms, but last Winter, the power went out for a few hours and they were scared. No amount of me trying to talk the adventure aspect of it worked.
Great graphic, Eliza. I love lightening photos.
